Nick Abraham
Nick Abraham is a Registered Clinical Counsellor who specializes in trauma and addiction, using an insight-driven and EMDR-focused approach to support lasting change. He believes healing requires addressing the root causes beneath addictive patterns rather than managing symptoms alone. Drawing from his own recovery journey and over 18 years of sobriety, Nick brings deep empathy and firsthand understanding of feeling stuck, overwhelmed, and powerless. Clients can expect a collaborative and honest space where they are supported and gently challenged to confront limiting beliefs. He has a special interest in addiction, shame, and trauma, helping clients separate their identity from their coping patterns. Nick invites you to begin the process of uncovering what’s beneath and moving toward a more grounded, fulfilling life.

Booking FAQ
First Session charges each session directly to your credit card. Once each session occurs, and your card is charged, you will receive a PDF receipt to your email with all of the details you will need to get reimbursed (therapist name, license/designation, license number, address, etc). You can then submit the receipt to your insurance company for reimbursement if you have coverage.
We always recommend you check with your insurance provider to confirm what coverage you have.
You are the expert when it comes to knowing who is the right fit. Ensure you’ve watched the therapist video at the top of their profile and see if you get a good feeling from the message and the energy they are putting out. If you feel drawn to speak with them, listen to your gut! Booking a free consultation is a great first step to asses fit.
